We never did get to go swimming, we are waiting on a day that Dad can be there for the first swim...pictures to come. However, we have been to our first birthday party. One of Jack's buddies, Evin, celebrated her 5th birthday at a gymnastic gym and we had a great time with our PRC friends. Jack didn't get to tumble and swing...but he enjoyed all the attention he got from his friends, and God family.The day before Mother's Day, JR, and I, along with Grandma Stevie, Aunt Pat, and Jack's God family, April, Rafael, and Carter, got to dedicate Jack to a Christian childhood. Real Life Christian Church did an amazing job making the event special for all 21 babies that were dedicated to the Lord that day. Jack proves to us every time we take him out that he is a good baby...he watched the proceedings as much as we did! We are excited to do this for Jack, he has been such a blessing and miracle in our life, that it is the least that we can do for him. Every moment I get to spend with this munchkin...is like another answered prayer.
Another first, introduction to solid foods. Because of his acid reflux, Dr. O. suggested we start him on oatmeal cereal. Here is a video of his first go around! As you can see, he doesn't mind it much. She suggested we start solid foods and alternate fruits/veggies as well, but we are going to wait a little while longer to start the purees.
The most recent 1st, and by far the most exciting? Our little man finally rolled over from belly to back! Every time he reaches a physical milestone it brings me to tears (lets be honest I'm a cry baby). Though it seems like a million years ago...it was only 1.5 months ago that this kid was strapped down by a 3 lbs cast...and 2.5 months ago that he was in the hospital. Now he's rolling! My prayers continue for his growth and progress...I am hopeful that we will be chasing this young man around the house soon :)
Well, I guess that is all for now. Jack, JR, and I appreciate everyone's continued support and prayers! We are anxiously awaiting the opportunity to meet Jack's Ojisan (grandpa Wilkinson), and get a return visit from Memaw (my mom), and Obasan (Aunt Lizzy) in July. We are also getting to meet Uncle Brandon and Aunt Ashley for the first time....then travel to DC for their wedding in October (Congrats you guys!) We will be watching 4 weddings in the next year, Brandon's, Linsey and Logan's, Eric's, and Tracy's...while running 3 half marathons, 1 diaper dash, and 1 marathon. Busy, but exciting!!! Love to you all!!!
